This is a critical question for parents to answer: "When have we given our kids too much?"
The era in which we live is one that is often characterized by overindulgence; there are sure a lot of folks I see and hear who are wondering what is in any given choice for them. They want instant gratification and they want it NOW. And I also tend to see a lot of kids who are, using my parents' vernacular, simply "spoiled."
How can parents avoid spoiling their kids and how do they know when they have indulged their children too much? After all, overindulgence can lead to a sense of entitlement, a lack of serious concern for the welfare of others and an idea that you don't have to sacrifice some things to achieve better things.
The authors of the new book How Much is Too Much? are trying to get at a logical way of finding out where the boundaries are. With a simple series of questions, and then an effort at building scenarios that seem all to familiar, the authors help guide an parent through this critical decision making process.
